INTRODUCTION

Tatia Miranda Ribeiro 1911 is currently the most species-rich genus in Centromochlinae comprising twenty-five valid species of small-sized catfish present in all inland South American large drainages east of the Andes as the Orinoco basin in Venezuela and Colombia Amazon basin from Ecuador to Brazil coastal rivers of northern South America between the mouths of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers and upper rio Paranaacute and Satildeo Francisco basins (Soares-Porto 1998 Ferraris 2003 2007 Sarmento-Soares Buckup 2005 Akama Sarmento-Soares 2007 Sarmento-Soares Birindelli 2015 Calegari et al 2019) The monophyly of the genus is supported by 13 molecular and three non-exclusive morphological synapomorphies coronomeckelian bone obliquely positioned hyomandibula and metapterygoid separated from each other and contralateral anteromedial processes of basipterygium sutured to each other on anterior portion (Calegari et al 2019)

In the rio Tocantins drainage Tatia is represented by two species namely T intermedia (Steindachner 1877) and T simplex Mees 1974 (Ferraris 2007 Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro 2008) Tatia simplex is poorly understood taxonomically Its description was based on a single juvenile specimen (285 mm SL) collected in 1968 at rio das Mortes Mato Grosso State Brazil Since its original description by Mees (1974) the species was kept under the name Centromochlus simplex in taxonomic lists and catalogues with geographic distribution reported only to the type locality (eg Ferraris 2003 2007) No additional material of the species was identified for thirty years until the generic revision of Tatia by Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro (2008) Although keept as incertae sedis in Centromochlinae (Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro 2008 Tab 1) Tatia simplex appears as a valid Tatia species in recent contribution (Calegari et al 2019)

In this study a new species of Tatia from the upper rio Tocantins is described and the identity and geographic distribution of T simplex is revised

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Osteological preparations were cleared and stained (CS) for cartilage and bone using the method of Taylor Van Dyke (1985) Osteological data were obtained from radiographs for species poorly represented in ichthyological collections Specimens examined as radiographs are noted as ldquoRxrdquo in the Comparative Material section Osteological nomenclature follows the Teleost Anatomy Ontology (Dahdul et al 2010) with exceptions based on Birindelli (2014) Orientation of dentations on pectoral-fin spine as in Vanscoy et al (2015) Drawings of cleared and stained specimens were rendered by camera lucida Photographs of structural details were taken using a digital camera coupled to a Leica stereomicroscope Species comparisons in diagnosis were provided based on direct examination of specimens all mentioned in comparative material section

Counts and measurements were made on the left side of the specimens whenever possible All measurements are expressed as percents of standard length (SL) except subunits of the head which are expressed as percents of head length (HL) Straight-line measurements were taken with a digital dial caliper to the nearest 01 mm Measurements and counts follow Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro (2008) Counts of fin rays and bony elements were obtained from alcohol preserved and CS specimens Fin ray counts include anteriormost spine (capital Roman numeral) or unbranched ray (lower case Roman numeral) and all subsequent branched rays (Arabic numeral) Caudal-fin ray counts included all principal rays (ie all inner branched rays and the first unbranched ray of the dorsal and ventral lobes also referred to as outer principal rays) Gill rakers of the anterolateral row were counted on the first branchial arch (ceratobranchial+ epibranchial) Branchiostegal rays and procurrent caudal-fin rays were taken from cleared and stained specimens Vertebral counts include the five elements incorporated into the Weberian complex plus one terminal element associated with the hypural complex (following Vari Ferraris 2013) Vertebral counts were taken from cleared and stained specimens or radiographs Standard length (SL) is expressed in mm and all other measurements are expressed as percentage of the SL except subunits of the head which are expressed as percentage of the head length

Institutional abbreviations follows Sabaj Peacuterez (2010) with the exception of Instituto Nacional da Mata Atlacircntica [formely Museu de Biologia Professor Mello Leitatildeo] Santa Teresa (MBML) Coleccedilatildeo Ictioloacutegica do Nuacutecleo de Pesquisas em Limnologia Ictiologia e Aquicultura Universidade Estadual de Maringaacute Maringaacute (NUP) Ichthyological collection Universidade Federal do Oeste do Paraacute Santareacutem (UFOPA-I) In the list of comparative material examined the museum abbreviation and catalog number are followed by the total number of specimens in that lot range of standard length cleared and stained (CS) or radiograph (Rx) and abbreviated collection data

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

INTRODUCTION

Tatia Miranda Ribeiro 1911 is currently the most species-rich genus in Centromochlinae comprising twenty-five valid species of small-sized catfish present in all inland South American large drainages east of the Andes as the Orinoco basin in Venezuela and Colombia Amazon basin from Ecuador to Brazil coastal rivers of northern South America between the mouths of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers and upper rio Paranaacute and Satildeo Francisco basins (Soares-Porto 1998 Ferraris 2003 2007 Sarmento-Soares Buckup 2005 Akama Sarmento-Soares 2007 Sarmento-Soares Birindelli 2015 Calegari et al 2019) The monophyly of the genus is supported by 13 molecular and three non-exclusive morphological synapomorphies coronomeckelian bone obliquely positioned hyomandibula and metapterygoid separated from each other and contralateral anteromedial processes of basipterygium sutured to each other on anterior portion (Calegari et al 2019)

In the rio Tocantins drainage Tatia is represented by two species namely T intermedia (Steindachner 1877) and T simplex Mees 1974 (Ferraris 2007 Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro 2008) Tatia simplex is poorly understood taxonomically Its description was based on a single juvenile specimen (285 mm SL) collected in 1968 at rio das Mortes Mato Grosso State Brazil Since its original description by Mees (1974) the species was kept under the name Centromochlus simplex in taxonomic lists and catalogues with geographic distribution reported only to the type locality (eg Ferraris 2003 2007) No additional material of the species was identified for thirty years until the generic revision of Tatia by Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro (2008) Although keept as incertae sedis in Centromochlinae (Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro 2008 Tab 1) Tatia simplex appears as a valid Tatia species in recent contribution (Calegari et al 2019)

In this study a new species of Tatia from the upper rio Tocantins is described and the identity and geographic distribution of T simplex is revised

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Osteological preparations were cleared and stained (CS) for cartilage and bone using the method of Taylor Van Dyke (1985) Osteological data were obtained from radiographs for species poorly represented in ichthyological collections Specimens examined as radiographs are noted as ldquoRxrdquo in the Comparative Material section Osteological nomenclature follows the Teleost Anatomy Ontology (Dahdul et al 2010) with exceptions based on Birindelli (2014) Orientation of dentations on pectoral-fin spine as in Vanscoy et al (2015) Drawings of cleared and stained specimens were rendered by camera lucida Photographs of structural details were taken using a digital camera coupled to a Leica stereomicroscope Species comparisons in diagnosis were provided based on direct examination of specimens all mentioned in comparative material section

Counts and measurements were made on the left side of the specimens whenever possible All measurements are expressed as percents of standard length (SL) except subunits of the head which are expressed as percents of head length (HL) Straight-line measurements were taken with a digital dial caliper to the nearest 01 mm Measurements and counts follow Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro (2008) Counts of fin rays and bony elements were obtained from alcohol preserved and CS specimens Fin ray counts include anteriormost spine (capital Roman numeral) or unbranched ray (lower case Roman numeral) and all subsequent branched rays (Arabic numeral) Caudal-fin ray counts included all principal rays (ie all inner branched rays and the first unbranched ray of the dorsal and ventral lobes also referred to as outer principal rays) Gill rakers of the anterolateral row were counted on the first branchial arch (ceratobranchial+ epibranchial) Branchiostegal rays and procurrent caudal-fin rays were taken from cleared and stained specimens Vertebral counts include the five elements incorporated into the Weberian complex plus one terminal element associated with the hypural complex (following Vari Ferraris 2013) Vertebral counts were taken from cleared and stained specimens or radiographs Standard length (SL) is expressed in mm and all other measurements are expressed as percentage of the SL except subunits of the head which are expressed as percentage of the head length

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

In this study a new species of Tatia from the upper rio Tocantins is described and the identity and geographic distribution of T simplex is revised

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Osteological preparations were cleared and stained (CS) for cartilage and bone using the method of Taylor Van Dyke (1985) Osteological data were obtained from radiographs for species poorly represented in ichthyological collections Specimens examined as radiographs are noted as ldquoRxrdquo in the Comparative Material section Osteological nomenclature follows the Teleost Anatomy Ontology (Dahdul et al 2010) with exceptions based on Birindelli (2014) Orientation of dentations on pectoral-fin spine as in Vanscoy et al (2015) Drawings of cleared and stained specimens were rendered by camera lucida Photographs of structural details were taken using a digital camera coupled to a Leica stereomicroscope Species comparisons in diagnosis were provided based on direct examination of specimens all mentioned in comparative material section

Counts and measurements were made on the left side of the specimens whenever possible All measurements are expressed as percents of standard length (SL) except subunits of the head which are expressed as percents of head length (HL) Straight-line measurements were taken with a digital dial caliper to the nearest 01 mm Measurements and counts follow Sarmento-Soares Martins-Pinheiro (2008) Counts of fin rays and bony elements were obtained from alcohol preserved and CS specimens Fin ray counts include anteriormost spine (capital Roman numeral) or unbranched ray (lower case Roman numeral) and all subsequent branched rays (Arabic numeral) Caudal-fin ray counts included all principal rays (ie all inner branched rays and the first unbranched ray of the dorsal and ventral lobes also referred to as outer principal rays) Gill rakers of the anterolateral row were counted on the first branchial arch (ceratobranchial+ epibranchial) Branchiostegal rays and procurrent caudal-fin rays were taken from cleared and stained specimens Vertebral counts include the five elements incorporated into the Weberian complex plus one terminal element associated with the hypural complex (following Vari Ferraris 2013) Vertebral counts were taken from cleared and stained specimens or radiographs Standard length (SL) is expressed in mm and all other measurements are expressed as percentage of the SL except subunits of the head which are expressed as percentage of the head length

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

Sexual dimorphism Observed in one male with partially modified anal fin for insemination (Figs 1 5) Five first proximal radials closely together not fused with sutures visible Last three proximal radials elements arranged as in non-breeding and females (according previous descriptions for congeners) Unbranched and first branched anal-fin rays fused together to form a structure for insemination at anterior portion of the anal fin Urogenital opening at base of anal fin as simple pore at the distal tip of a tubular structure bound by integument Deferent duct externally visible as a genital papilla

Distribution Tatia akroa is known from the upper portion of the rio Tocantins drainage (Fig 6)

Ecological notes One of the specimens examined was dissected and its stomach contained fragments of terrestrial insects including Diptera and Coleoptera

Conservation status Tatia akroa is known from the rio Perdida and rio Palma upper rio Tocantins drainage Considering its Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and that no major

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)

threats to the species were detected in the area of distribution we suggest that T akroa should be categorized as least concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories and criteria (IUCN 2019)

Etymology The specific name is a reference to the Akroaacute indigenous people inhabitants of lands from eastern Tocantins to southern Piauiacute until the XIX century (Apolinaacuterio 2005) The Akroaacute lived along valleys on Serra Geral do Tocantins a watershed divide between the right margin of rio Tocantins and rio Parnaiacuteba upper valleys respectively Their territory included the rio Manuel Alves sub-basin of rio Tocantins distribution range of the new Tatia species A noun in apposition

DISCUSSION

The parieto-supraoccipital joined to middle nuchal plate with resultant absence of an anterior nuchal plate is a condition shared by Tatia akroa and ten species presently assigned under Tatia namely T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T melanoleuca T musaica T orca T punctata T reticulata and T simplex In addition the lack of anterior nuchal plate is shared by a few Centromochlinae species (Balroglanis carolae B macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia ferrarisi and F meridionalis) and by all Gelanoglanis species (G stroudi G nanonocticolus G travieso and G pan) Among the species of Tatia a parieto-supraoccipital joined to anterior nuchal plate is shared by Tatia aulopygia T boemia T brunnea T caudosignata T caxiuanensis T caudosignata T dunni T galaxias T gyrina T jaracatia T intermedia T meesi T neivai T nigra and T strigata

Among the centromochlins lacking an anterior nuchal plate a restricted group of Tatia species composed by Tatia akroa T bockmanni T britskii T concolor T marthae T punctata and T simplex are morphologically very similar Besides the arrangement of cranial nuchal plates a modified anal fin of mature males with reduced posterior rays bearing one or two (sixth andor seventh branched rays) smaller or rudimentary and also a similar color pattern with scattered dots over a pale body and translucent fins with the exception of T punctata which specimens exhibits a vermiculated color pattern Most of these species were originally described in Tatia however remained for a long time under Centromochlus (ie Tatia concolor T simplex and T punctata) or Glanidium (Tatia bockmanni) and some (ie Tatia britskii) were originally described under Centromochlus and now placed under Tatia (Calegari et al 2019) The difficulties in solving relationships of some of these species within Tatia are that only type material is available with few specimens in collections The few specimens available in fish collections make accurate identification of these species difficult and some names as Tatia simplex and also T marthae were based upon juveniles specimens only

Tatia simplex was described as having an extremely small adipose fin smaller than other centromochlins species (Mees 1974 93) Although the significance of reduced adipose fin in the holotype was stated as uncertain regarding the diagnosis of the species additional specimens with a reduced adipose fin were found in rio Tocantins drainage Analysis of these specimens support the hypothesis that T simplex is distinguished from all Centromochlinae by the adipose-fin base length corresponding to 15 or less

in SL (vs adipose-fin base length more than 2 in SL even in species with adipose fin proportionally smaller as Centromochlus existimatus and C heckelii) Tatia simplex is further distinguished from C existimatus and C heckelii by lacking anterior nuchal plate (vs anterior nuchal plate present) and shorter pectoral-fin spine (207ndash227 of SL vs 293ndash416 of SL) Tatia simplex differs from T akroa and T britskii the only species lacking an adipose fin by the posterior border of dorsal-fin spine with 1 to 3 distal denticulations (vs smooth margin) Among species of Centromochlinae that share the absence of anterior nuchal plate (ie Balroglanis macracanthus B schultzi Duringlanis romani Ferrarissoaresia meridionalis T bockmanni T concolor T punctata T reticulata and T simplex) Tatia simplex differs from both Balroglanis macracanthus and B schultzi by having posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine smooth (vs denticulated) differs from T punctata and T concolor by irregular or retrorse orientation of dentations along anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (vs regularly spaced antrorse dentations) and by the morphology of male modified anal fin specifically the last branched anal-fin ray progressively shorter than anterior most (vs last ray abruptly reduced size half that of preceding one and visible only through dissection)

Tatia simplex was originally described from rio das Mortes tributary of left margin of rio Araguaia on Mato Grosso State Brazil This species is scarcely represented in scientific collections The revision of distribution patterns based on additional material of T simplex suggests that the species is restricted to the Tocantins-Araguaia system with records from rio das Mortes and lower rio Tocantins (Fig 7)
